Score MAJOR Deals Without Leaving Home When You Shop These Online Black Friday Sales

Black Friday is quickly approaching, and due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, you can expect the shopping event to look a little different this year. With infection rates rising across the United States as of Nov. 24, you may want to skip the lines and crowds at stores on Black Friday, Nov. 27. Thankfully, there are plenty of online Black Friday sales where you can take advantage of the holiday's major discounts without leaving the house.

As of Tuesday, Nov. 24, the 7-day daily average of COVID-19 cases in the United States reached 173,165, according to The New York Times.
